" INVENTOR fa/g A.A0/e/" ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 30, 1932 Sm A.v ADLER,. or NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS" BiDER TICKET Application filed May 2,

My invention relates to tags or tickets or the like, and more articularly to rider tickets for the identi cation or pricing of fabric articles or the like, and more particu- -:G larly of hosiery.

One object of my invention is the provision of a novel rider ticket that may be conveniently and quickly secured to an edge or welt of a garment or stocking, and which 1 may be just as conveniently removed therefrom.

Another object is the provision of a rider ticket of such construction that it will not damage the fabric to which it may be atl tached, as by puncturing, tearing or pulling threads of the same, nor injure the fingers of the person attaching or detaching the ticket. 7 a I A still further object is to provide a rider may be stamped or cut out of single sheet material in one operation, thus reducing cost of production to the very minimum. v

'With these and other objects in view the 1. invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and particularly pointed out in the appended claims it being understood that various 33.0 changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrific ing any of the advantages thereof.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a front view-0f a rider ticket made in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1

but showing the ticket attached to the edge of a fragment of fabric; Fig; 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing the ticket attached to the edge of a fabric; Figs. 4, 5, 6 are enlarged sectional views taken on the line X-X of Fig. 1 showing the ticket: before attachment, preparatory to attachment with a piece of fabric, and after attachment to the V fabric, respectively.

Figs. 7 8, 9, 10 and 11 are front views similar to Fig. 1 showing various modified forms of the rider tickets made in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 12 shows in front view a further modification of myinvention in which the 1931. Serial No. 534,520.

major portion of theticketoverlaps the goods when attached thereto;Fig. 13 is a View similar to Fig, 12 showing the ticket attached to th edgeof a fabric'and'perforated for detachment of aportion thereof; and F ig."14 shows a still furthermodified form of my invention;

-..Referring "to'the drawings,'a ticket '1 is then pressing the tongue 4 back through the portion 2 to the other side thereof,as clearly shown in Fig. 6. 2.2 ticket of such slmple construct on that it It will be readily seen that the thickness of fabric now filling the slit 3 and engaging the outer marginal edges of the tongue 4 and the inner edges on the portion '2, prevents the tongue 4 from" passing back through the portion 2. The converging sides of the tongue 4 4 cooperate-with the similarly converging internal edges of the portion 2 and prevent detachment of the ticket by a pull in a direction straight away from the horizontal edge of the fabric. On the other hand, the ticket may re'adilybe released from the goods by simply pressing the tongue 4' back through the portion 2 to release the grip on the fabric.-' VVhen' the tongue 4 and the portion 2 are in the same plane the edges thereof arein contact witheach-other,or are very closetogether (the distance between such edges being necessarily less than'the thicknessof the fabric to Which t'he ticket is to be attached), and after the necessary deflection of the tongue and the introduction of the fabric in the manner above described it is necessary to force the tongue through the portion 2 against the resistance afforded by the thickness of the fab ric, and when the fabricis thus firmly gripped between the outer edges of the tongue and the inner edges on the portion 2 the converging; arrangement of these edges anchors the device effectively to the fabric. i I

PATENT lorries I Referring more particularly now to Figs. 7 and 8, the structure shownin these modified forms is substantially that just described, but

' shows difierent designs of tickets and of slits.
